Dr Chelsea Reutcke and Jimmy discuss the Popish Plot of 1679, pillories, fake news, and cream of Earl Grey tea

Welcome to episode three of Steeped in History! This week Dr Chelsea Reutcke of the University of Utah comes on to have a chat about the Popish Plot of 1679. We discuss 17th century fake news, disinformation, and what we can all do to be a bit more careful about the information we absorb. Oh! And we talk about tea and books as well.

Chelsea's book "Catholic Print Networks in Restoration London 1660-1688" should be out by the end of the year, and we'll keep you posted when it is!
